Sensing the goodwill of the Yin Yang Mysterious Swords, Chen Zong felt grateful. The two of them conversed.
The Yin Yang Mysterious Swords cultivated the sword, and so did Chen Zong. Therefore, the Yin Yang Mysterious Swords couple intended to give Chen Zong some pointers. They shared their understanding of the sword during the conversation.
After that, they also discovered that Chen Zong's understanding of the sword was not only profound to the point that it surprised them, but it was also unique and actually had a certain inspiration effect on them.
If the two of them had thought highly of Chen Zong previously because of the Heavenly Sun Sword and Earth Yin Sword, then now they truly valued him. If such a genius with extraordinary talent in the sword were to mature, he would definitely shine brightly on the path of the sword.
The Yin Yang Mysterious Swords only left after a few hours of discussion.
After Chen Zong rested for a while, he slowly sorted out the Yin Yang Mysterious Swords' insights into the sword and turned them into his own. This would help him create his own unique move, but more importantly, it would deepen his accumulation and accumulation on the path of the sword.
"When Chen Zong leaves Ascending Heaven City, we won't need to do anything. He's dead for sure." The three pseudo-Transcendents of the Nangong Family said one after another.
After Xin Wuxing of the Xin Family arrived at Ascending Heaven City, he immediately learned that Chen Zong had killed Xiahou Zhen on the Life and Death Arena. However, he was waiting for an opportunity. He was waiting for Chen Zong to leave Ascending Heaven City to kill him, because he wanted to bring Chen Zong's head back.
The Martial Saint Palace's Xiahou lineage sent two Paramount Mortal realm experts to Ascending Heaven City. They entered the Martial Saint Palace's stronghold and paid attention to Chen Zong's movements. Once Chen Zong left Ascending Heaven City, they would immediately take action. They would not give Chen Zong any chance to escape.
In an instant, Chen Zong became the focus of attention in the dark.
During this period of time, Chen Zong rarely went out and basically stayed in the inn to cultivate.
In his battle with Xiahou Zhen, Chen Zong had already fully grasped the fusion of sixty percent of his physical strength and sixty percent of his Overwatch Great True Force. Now, he was beginning to fuse seventy percent. The improvement in his sword art was very minute, but he had more ideas for his ultimate move. Chen Zong had a feeling that he would be able to complete the first move of the Overwatch Sword Canon in a month or three months if he was fast.
However, Xiahou Ba did not come to ask for the Double Dragon Supreme Token. He probably wanted to take it back after killing Chen Zong.
Time flew by. In the blink of an eye, it was time for the Heaven Ascension Tower to open.
While the sky was still hazy, the entire Ascending Sky City was abnormally awake. It was as bustling as a market. Many warriors walked out of their rooms and headed towards the same destination as if they were going to the market.
Sky Tower
Today was the day the Heaven Ascension Tower would open once a year for half a month. In theory, as long as one was not a Transcendent, anyone was eligible to enter the Heaven Ascension Tower until its opening ended.
Typically, those who wanted to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower would enter Ascending Sky City early to wait, to prevent any accidents from happening.
The crowd surged towards the center of the city, heading straight for the Heaven Ascension Tower. Chen Zong was among the crowd, accompanied by the Yin Yang Profound Sword couple. The two of them were naturally not here to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower, but to a certain extent, to protect Chen Zong. Who knew if someone would suddenly attack when there were so many people?
With the Heaven Ascension Tower as the center, no one was allowed to step within a kilometer of it. Only with permission could one enter. Otherwise, rushing around would only cause unnecessary chaos.
The Heaven Ascension Tower did not have a door. It was completely black, and it was impossible to tell what it was made of. It gave off an ancient aura as it stood above the ground, like a pillar that supported the heavens. It was majestic and unparalleled.
The people of Ascending Sky City's City Guards had already arrived. A guard swept his gaze over the crowd and said loudly, "It's time for the Heaven Ascension Tower to open once a year. I know that many people want to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower, but time is limited and the Heaven Ascension Tower itself has a limit on the number of people who can enter. It is impossible to satisfy everyone."
No one showed any surprise. Obviously, they were already aware of this.
Chen Zong also knew that the Heaven Ascension Tower was only open for half a month. This was not a decision made by Ascending Sky City, but rather a restriction of the Heaven Ascension Tower itself.
Moreover, the Heaven Ascension Tower had eleven floors, and only eleven people could enter the Heaven Ascension Tower at a time. Only when the eleven people were not on the first floor could the second batch of people enter.
Simply put, each floor of the Heaven Ascension Tower could only accommodate eleven people at a time.
With all these conditions and restrictions, it was destined that not everyone could challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower.
The way to choose was also very simple, survival of the fittest.
There was a strength limit to challenging the Heaven Ascension Tower, which was below the Transcendent Realm. Generally, only the True Martial Realm and Pseudo Transcendents could challenge it.
Secondly, there was an age limit, which was a condition agreed upon by the other forces led by Ascending Sky City.
Pseudo Transcendents could not be more than fifty years old, and True Martial Realm cultivators could not be more than thirty years old.
In a sense, this was a protective strategy.
The first goal of challenging the Heaven Ascension Tower was to use the power inside to temper oneself. The second goal was to obtain the treasures inside the Heaven Ascension Tower.
For many people, the first goal was incidental. The second goal was more important because there were treasures inside the Heaven Ascension Tower that were difficult to find in the outside world.
For example, Xiahou Ba's Supreme Dual Dragon Token was difficult to find in the outside world, but it was obtained when challenging the Heaven Ascension Tower.
No one knew how many rewards there were in the Heaven Ascension Tower, whether it was inexhaustible or there was a limit to the number. However, the common guess was that it was the latter, which was why there was a limit.
Cultivators ranked on the Minor Heaven Ascension List and Heaven Ascension List naturally did not need to be restricted. They completely met the conditions. As for Pseudo Transcendents who were not ranked on the Heaven Ascension List but were under fifty years old, they were also qualified to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower. As for True Martial Realm cultivators, they had to be selected.
The selection method was also very simple. It was a combat test.
However, the combat test required quite a bit of time. Therefore, the test was completed before the Heaven Ascension Tower opened. Chen Zong did not need to undergo the test because he had killed Xiahou Zhen on the Life and Death Platform. He had replaced Xiahou Zhen's ranking on the Minor Heaven Ascension List.
The Minor Heaven Ascension List had seventy-two rankings. Xiahou Zhen was ranked thirteenth, and now, the thirteenth place was taken by Rampaging Sword Chen Zong.
"Everyone who can challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower, come forward." The guard announced. Immediately, one person after another walked out from the crowd and stepped into the thousand-meter radius of the Heaven Ascension Tower.
Chen Zong was also one of them. At a glance, there were about three hundred people who wanted to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower. It was not a small number. Furthermore, there would be more people rushing over. According to the past, there would be at least a thousand people challenging the Heaven Ascension Tower in half a month.
These thousand people were qualified. They were chosen from the many people who wanted to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower.
"Now that the Heaven Ascension Tower has opened, according to the past rules, the people on the Heaven Ascension List will be the first to challenge it. Remember, no external help is allowed." The City Guards Division's guard said. No one objected. This practice had been going on for many years.
The Heaven Ascension List had fewer spots than the Minor Heaven Ascension List. There were only thirty-six spots. Those who could be ranked on the Heaven Ascension List had combat strength that was at least at the beginning of the eight-star realm.
However, not everyone on the list would rush to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower. After all, the Heaven Ascension Tower only opened once a year. Some people had already left the Heaven Ascension domain to explore other domains. Typically, they would not rush back just for the Heaven Ascension Tower.
As for others, they were cultivating in seclusion. Therefore, there were only nine people on the Heaven Ascension List.
As for the seventy-two people on the Minor Heaven Ascension List, not all of them had arrived. At the very least, those who were ranked near the top did not appear. The Heaven Ascension Tower was not the only opportunity in the world.
Only twenty-eight people on the Minor Heaven Ascension List came.
The Heaven Ascension List was usually the first to challenge the Heaven Ascension Tower, followed by the Minor Heaven Ascension List, followed by the pseudo Transcendents under the age of fifty, and finally the True Martial realm that had passed the combat strength test.
Now, only nine people on the Heaven Ascension List had arrived. There were still two spots left. Naturally, the people on the Minor Heaven Ascension List would fill the gap. The order of entry was based on the ranking on the list.
There were not many people in the top ten of the Minor Heaven Ascension List. There was only one, Sky Crane Hand Cang Bai, who was ranked eighth. Next was Wind Cloud Kick Lu Zhengxiong, who was ranked eleventh. Finally, it was Chen Zong, who had replaced Xiahou Zhen.
The first batch of people to enter the Heaven Ascension Tower was the nine people on the Heaven Ascension List, Sky Crane Hand Cang Bai, and Wind Cloud Kick Lu Zhengxiong. There were eleven of them.
Xiahou Ba's expression was gloomy. His killing intent burned as he stared at Chen Zong. It was as if he wanted to kill Chen Zong through his gaze.
Chen Zong met Xiahou Ba's gaze without fear.
If he wanted to, Chen Zong would have already become a Pseudo Transcendent Realm cultivator. His combat strength would have soared to the level of an Eight Star. After all, Chen Zong's accumulation of cultivation far surpassed that of many people. His combat strength would not be inferior to Xiahou Ba's, and might even be superior.
However, Chen Zong had restrained his cultivation from breaking through to the True Martial Realm, which he had no clue about. As such, what did Xiahou Ba have to fear?
However, there was another gaze that made Chen Zong feel uncomfortable. Following the gaze, Chen Zong saw a blue-clothed man. His face was pale, as if he had never been exposed to sunlight and had been in a dark place for many years.
However, his eyes were frighteningly deep, like the eyes of a ghost. They carried an astonishing chill that made one's hair stand on end.
This person was clearly standing there, but it was as if he did not exist. It was extremely strange.
Compared to Xiahou Ba, this person was much more threatening.
However, Chen Zong did not know. Had he offended this person before?
Unable to figure it out, Chen Zong did not think too much about it. He would deal with whatever came his way. He did not like to take the initiative to find trouble, but if trouble came knocking on his door, he would not be afraid.
He would fight when the time came.
He would kill when the time came.
That person was from the Xin Family, a sword family, Xin Wuxing, who was known as the Ghost Sword.
Xin Wuxing's purpose was naturally to kill Chen Zong and cut off Chen Zong's head to bring back. Coincidentally, the Heaven Ascension Tower had opened, so he wanted to give it a try and get some rewards before killing Chen Zong.
The tower challenge began. The nine people on the Heaven Ascension List and the two people on the Minor Heaven Ascension List walked forward and quickly approached the Heaven Ascension Tower. Then, they reached out and pressed on the wall of the first floor.
This Heaven Ascension Tower was very interesting. It had eleven floors and eleven walls.
Under an ancient and mysterious fluctuation, the eleven figures were instantly wrapped up. Then, under everyone's gaze, they directly entered the walls of the Tower of Ascension. When their figures all disappeared, the eleven walls of the first floor of the Tower of Ascension lit up with a soft light.
"It has begun."
"They are all top geniuses. I wonder how many floors they can reach."
